I don't think we should do that as long as PDF is one of the presentation forms we get of an RFC.

That is certainly a good thing and can be pursued independently.

The actual requirement here is that, for I-Ds, reviewers can look at useful previews of all the presentation forms that will be in the RFC even before RPC does its magic.
